Darrell Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I compiled all my Bayou Bullet test data in one PDF file for you perusal. It includes chrono and accuracy in 3 guns, My Dan Wesson PM9 which I just changed to a Kart Barrel, my EAA limited 9mm my most accurate 9mm, and my CZ Shadow my production work horse. The CZ isn't as accurate as I would like but I'm planning on getting the new model with the barrel bushing mod that supposedly cut the 50 yd groups in half. I normally like the Bayou 135's as my main go to bullet, but now I like the feel of the 160's with N320 for USPSA, and the 105's with WST for steel. If anyone has any suggestions or comments I'd appreciated it. Hopefully this info can save you guys some time and money in your pursuit for a load with Bayou's. As always YMMV, so start low and work up. These loads were all tested by me in my guns.

shane8168 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 You Da Man! I don't want to sound like an ungrateful DI$%head here, but... You don't happen to have this in an excel file do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yes I do, but I put it in PDF to keep it from being modified. PM your email and I'll send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have been running the 160s over 3.0 of N320 or 3.2 of Solo in my Shadow from some time now. I have found it in my informal testing and matches to be a very accurate combination (N320 more so) and a ludicrously easy round to shoot. Thanks for doing the Ransom testing to confirm what I thought. I think you will really like the barrel bushing. I had it done to my TS and it does seem to make a measurable improvement in accuracy. It is on my list to have done to my Shadow in the future as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks from someone who just bought a lot of Bayou 125s. You saved me a lot of time and effort - I will be using Clays, WSF, 320 and you covered those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLSlim Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I guess it is time to dump my old downloads and replace them with the "master" spread. Thanks, Darrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstur Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Darrell: I have been following your Bayou bullet 9mm work. I was about to give up on my Springfield 9mm 1911 untill I drove the BBI 147s over 1,000fps with 4.2 grains of WST. 2-3/4" groups at 25 yards with the butt of the gun on a sandbag. Half the size I got with 3.8 grains of the same powder. I am curious to see if you can duplicate this or is it limied to the Springfield barrel.
